File a Claim

You can be reimbursed for expenses with service dates from January 1 through December 31, while actively making contributions to the plan. The date you pay for an item or service is irrelevant.

• Submit claims directly to the plan provider BASIC
• Attach the appropriate documentation including: an explanation of benefits (EOB), receipt, or invoice
• Documentation must include: provider or full name of product, patient name, amount, and date(s) of service.
• Canceled checks will not be accepted in lieu of an itemized bill or receipt
• Statements showing only a previous balance are not acceptable documentation
• Individuals may be reimbursed up to the full annual election amount regardless of the amount contributed to the account on the health and limited purpose plans.
• All eligible funds for the plan year  must be claimed within 90 days with the Third Party Administrator by the end of the plan year. If an individual retires or ceases participation in the plan, dates of service must be prior to the active participation end date. Under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, any funds not claimed from the Healthcare FSA within these periods over $570 (Plan year 2022) remaining in your account at the end of the plan year and have not incurred expenses for which to claim that money, are forfeited.
